But it comes with a heavier flywheel for a smoother ride. It also comes with a full-color, touch-screen HD console (see below). The non-PRO model has a dual color console only – not touch screen, no HD.

Other Benefits?

Are there any other benefits to this Bowflex Max alternative elliptical?

Well, both HIIT trainer models come with the option to get iFIT Coach which lets you track your workout stats over time and even download new HD workout videos to your machine.

You can also run different trails all over the world – from Paris to the Swiss Alps and watch as real landmarks pass you by in the screen for some virtual reality fun.

Another Bowflex Max Alternative – The Bowflex Lateral X

This is another brand new hybrid elliptical that gives you something beyond just a standard elliptical running path – side-to-side motion.

Lateral X Motion

So you can go forward and back like a regular elliptical – and also side-to-side. This gives you a much better crosstraining experience and, just like the Max Trainer – you can burn more calories on the Lateral X than on a standard elliptical:

Bowflex currently makes 2 different Lateral X models – the Bowflex LX3 and the LX5 model. They both give you the side-to-side training motion but there are some slight differences in console and layout.
